ATTREX 02/07/13 Daily Schedule
2/7 Accomplishments:
GWAS determined their pump problem was a frozen bearing. They think it was because the pump got too hot so they're going to use thermistors to monitor the pump's temperature.
While addressing a noisy pressure sensor NOAA UCATS got indications of a failing mercury lamp. Pressure sensor was changed, lamp is on the way to be changed tomorrow afternoon
Got approval from all of those required to attempt a Saturday/Sunday science flight.
HU/PCRS removed their gas deck, beefed up a solenoid driver to ensure robust calibrations and reinstalled the unit.
Mini-DOAS had their telescope fairing reworked to address interference issues
SSFR conducted a system vacuum check and calibration
MMS submitted data to the ATTREX archive
